Destination Wedding at the Four Seasons Ocean Club in the Bahamas | Jordyn & Steven

Luxury Four Seasons Ocean Club Wedding Photography in the Bahamas

When Jordan and Steven envisioned their wedding weekend, they didn’t just plan a ceremony — they curated an experience. Instead of hosting a single evening celebration, they invited their guests to the Bahamas for three unforgettable days at the Four Seasons Ocean Club.

EKS Events led the planning and design with precision, while Wildflower Bahamas created lush floral installations that elevated every space. As a result, the entire property felt transformed into a private world designed exclusively for their closest family and friends.

Night One: An Oceanfront Welcome Celebration

To begin the festivities, guests gathered for an elegant welcome party overlooking the ocean. As the sun set over the water, candlelight flickered against the breeze and cocktails flowed freely.

Not only did the evening set the tone for the weekend, but it also allowed everyone to settle into the rhythm of island life. Laughter carried across the terrace, and anticipation built for what was to come.

Day Two: A Chic Poolside Affair at SLS

The following afternoon, the celebration shifted to a private pool party at the SLS Hotel. Under bright Bahamian sunshine, guests enjoyed curated cocktails, music, and a lively atmosphere.

While the tone felt playful, the execution remained refined. Every detail reflected intentional design. Consequently, the weekend never lost its sense of luxury — even during its most relaxed moments.

Wedding Morning: First Looks & Sacred Traditions

On the wedding day, we arrived early for getting-ready moments filled with excitement and emotion. Meanwhile, final touches unfolded quietly in each suite.

First, Jordan met her father in the garden for a deeply heartfelt first look. Shortly after, Steven joined us beneath the palms. As soon as he turned to see her, emotion overtook them both.

Afterward, we explored the garden grounds for portraits in the soft morning light. Then, we transitioned indoors for an intimate ketubah ceremony, where close family gathered in a moment of meaningful tradition before the larger celebration began.

A Historic Cloisters Ceremony Overlooking the Sea

Later in the afternoon, guests assembled at the historic Cloisters overlooking the ocean. Pastel blooms lined the aisle and framed an elegant chuppah at the altar.

For the wedding day, the men embraced classic black tie attire. However, each one paired his tuxedo with Jordans — a playful nod to the bride’s name. Meanwhile, the bridesmaids wore individually selected black dresses, creating a fashion-forward yet cohesive look.

Beneath the chuppah, Jordan and Steven honored Jewish tradition in a ceremony filled with sincerity and joy. Once they sealed their vows, guests showered them with petals as they recessed down the aisle.

Following the ceremony, we captured sunset portraits before gathering family beneath the chuppah for formal photographs.

A Sunflower-Draped Tent & Bahamian After Party

As dusk settled over the property, guests moved into a custom-built reception tent designed entirely by EKS Events. Because sunflowers are Jordan’s favorite bloom, the team draped the ceiling with cascading installations in dramatic abundance.

Inside, candlelight glowed warmly against layered florals and elegant table settings. After heartfelt speeches and live performances, the multi-piece band energized the dance floor.

Later in the evening, Jordan changed into a feathered and embellished mini dress that perfectly suited the Bahamas setting. Finally, once dinner and dancing concluded, guests were ushered poolside to the vibrant sound of Junkanoo musicians. There, beneath the stars, the celebration continued into the night.

For couples seeking an immersive destination experience, Four Seasons Ocean Club wedding photography offers a rare combination of historic architecture, oceanfront grandeur, and impeccable service. Above all, Jordan and Steven’s three-day celebration demonstrates how elevated design and thoughtful hospitality can transform a wedding into a truly unforgettable escape.

Switzer Farm Wedding in Westport | Jennifer + Andrew

Switzer Farm Wedding

You need to drop what you’re doing and come take a peek at this gorgeous Switzer Farm wedding. This newly opened venue is located in Westport, CA, and made for the perfect backdrop for Jen and Andrew’s wedding day. The house was originally built in 1884 by the Switzer brothers and was restored in 2015. Before the renovation, world-renowned photographer Ansel Adams actually photographed the property in 1964! The property overlooks the Mendocino Coast and would be a dream for any couple looking for a unique venue.

We flew up for the weekend to document the festivities. After seeing their wedding photos below, we have no doubt you’ll want a coastal wedding as well!

Getting Ready

Jen and Andrew rented out the entire property for the weekend. Their bridal party stayed on-site and enjoyed the in-house chef and got ready alongside them on the wedding day. While Andrew and his groomsmen prepared downstairs, Jen and her bridesmaids were getting pampered in the upstairs suite. All of the ladies toasted Jen on marrying Andrew and Even their three dogs were included on the wedding day. After Jen finished with hair and makeup she slipped into her dress for portraits. Her mom was by her side to assist and capture some sweet moments in the process.

Ceremony

The ceremony was held on the property’s lawn overlooking the cliffs and the Pacific Ocean. Floral arrangements composed of pampas grass, spray roses, and fountain grass lined the aisle way. There was a flower-adorned wooden arbor at the altar for Jen and Andrew to stand under that framed the coastal rocks perfectly. Soon after the guests arrived, they were ushered down the hillside to their seats. Jen was walked down by her mom and Andrew was accompanied by his pup. After a heartfelt exchange of vows, the couple sealed their marriage with a kiss. Soon after, they made their way down the aisle with their dog in tow as their guests cheered them on.

Cocktail Hour

Guests made their way back up to the house for cocktail hour and to enjoy the sunset. Fresh oysters and handmade signature cocktails were served for everyone to enjoy. The most inviting lounge area was designed in the lower courtyard located beneath the main deck. While heading over to the lounge area with drinks and appetizers in hand, everyone stopped off at the welcome table to write in Jen + Andrew’s guest book.

Reception

Following cocktail hour, the reception space on the main lawn was opened to all the guests. Dinner was set to be served at an alfresco dining space beneath the stars. The tables were decorated with soft blue hues and gilded silverware. Loose blooms and floral centerpieces could be found throughout. Alongside the floral arrangements were the guests’ place settings written on agate. The sweetheart table sat at the head of the lawn surrounded by pampas grasses, overlooking the guests.

Guests soon made their way to their seats and the bridal party was about to make their grand entrance. Everyone stood, cheering on Jen and Andrew as they made their way to the dance floor. The two shared their first dance as husband and wife with views of the sunset over the Pacific. Meanwhile, their closest friends and family watched with adoration as the couple swayed, spun, and dipped one another.

Sunset Romantics

We absconded for a few minutes to capture a few more portraits before the sunset. We visited the home’s garden and captured the pair as they walked the property. After visiting the lounge area down in the courtyard, we headed back to the reception for dinner and a night full of dancing.

Guests raised their glasses and toasted one another during the speeches for the couple.
Jen and Andrew served one another bites of wedding cake while laughing and dancing into the night.
